You are helping Mish, thanks...I've got a respironics Sleep Style 600 cpap series
I see from the book that the HC604 is the model number...then there's a couple of pages with diagrams that look like stuff on the side of a spaceship...I guess I'll get it figured out...I'm supposed to get reviewed to see if oxygen is needed, too...so I can ask then
thanks again :)

I don't know what model you have, I've only had respironics brand, and there has usually been a dial. If you don't know for sure, then google search - how to check my humidity (insert your brand cpap here) thats the fastest way to find out for sure. 2.5 is possible but I wouldn't know
sowwy not much help there
IF you need to PM me :)

Okay, when I hit the button "HC" comes up, then the number 604, and then the number 2.5
that must be the humidity?
Thanks Mishelle

Check the dial, usually it might be set for 2 - typical recommendation. Since I've been battling a sinus infection I turned it up to 3 or 4. That humidity helps - typically a dry climate here :)

Wow! that makes sense, Mishelle, thanks for the advice.
Not sure how much humidity it is set for. I do tuck the hose under the covers, haven't had much problem with condensation yet. My sis did, and her doctor told her to velcro a tube of felt around the hose.
Its good to hear that your level went down. Its awesome to be able to really breathe at night.

get a soft elastic headband and see if that helps keep your mouth shut.
If the pressure is too much your mouth could be forced open. If it continues, then I'd ask for an autopap trial at home to confirm your pressure setting. Just a thought.
How much humidity are you using? Might need more, if your still running air at night, might need to put your hose under the covers with you to keep the condensation down. WHen ever there is cool air in the room.

Yes, Mishelle, I sure did, thanks. Loved it, just as joyoga said. But I seem to need to take a few minutes break after 4 hours, and then I put it on again. Yep, my mask is tempermental too, a comfortfull2...with a ball clip... my hub said it was leaking like crazy last night. Maybe that is why I am seem to have a prob with dry mouth. It is a heated unit with water, so maybe I'm still dropping my jaw? My sis said I might need a chin strap
then I get an itchy nose once I'm all hooked up...must have been one of those kids who couldn't sit still in church, too ;-)
Gotta get it solved..hub said it was the first time HE slept in peace!

So did you get any sleep your first night? Air leaks can be a pain. Hopefully the mask you got works great for you. I love the mask I use, its the most tempermental bugger I've ever used. HOwever when I do have it sit just right, Man do I sleep the best! Even a year post op I still need and use my cpap machine.
I was at a 12 - probably should of been a 13. And now I'm at a 6.5 its so nice to be able to sleep, who knew it was so dang important

Thanks so much, joyoga! You give me hope.
( It was hysterical getting fitted for that mask, at that pressure my cheeks were ballooning or the mask was farting on one side.)
